Building xemacs-21.5/i686-pc-cygwin

David> warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; David> defaulting to 00401000 id.o This is a known warning, fixed in 21.5.2 and later. Although it won't fix the terminal error about installexe.sh (IIRC), you should consider updating to 21.5.2. You may or may not want to go as far as the CVS HEAD, as Ben has recently committed some huge patches. David> A note to other Cygwin users: by specifying the options for David> the NonX XPM libraries I avoid the spurious attempt to David> start an X application, with the associated error box. Noted. I think there will be some fixes related to this committed in the near future, whether they address this exact problem or not I'm not sure. David> I gather "temacs" is built more than once. Is this as expected? Yes. The "static heap" used to be put into readonly memory, so there obviously is no point in having it bigger than it gets in the loadup process. David> Testing for Lisp shadows ... [...] David> /usr/local/lib/Xemacs/site-lisp/default hides David> /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/default Urk. Something's wrong here; those files shouldn't be able to shadow themselves. Thanks for the report. David> + make check The rpoblems with "make check" probably indicate that you are (1) not configuring Mule and (2) don't have a database (Berkeley DB-style) library. David> I DID NOT EXPECT TO FIND A REFERENCE TO MY 21.4.3 INSTALLATION AT: David> Loading /usr/local/lib/XEmacs-21.4.3/lisp/dumped-lisp.el... This is not good. Maybe something is invoking "xemacs" off the PATH rather than the newly built executable with a fully-qualified path? -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
